Title: Jacking Attachment for Automobiles.
Inventor: UNGER FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: B60S9/04
Filed: 1912-04-09
Granted: 1913-04-09
Abstract: 8416. Unger, F. W. April 9. Jacks.-The front axle of a motor-vehicle is raised and supported by an adjustable threelegged jack or stand, the lifting-movement of which in some cases may be transmitted through the vehicle framing and caused to raise the rear axle by positioning adjustable inclined legs having cam-shaped feet. Both the front and rear axle-raising mechanisms may be mounted on castor base-plates for moving the raised vehicle bodily into a new position. The threelegged support comprises adjustable rods 10, Fig. 2, which are held in proximity to the ends of the axle by passing them through depending U-shaped members 11 secured to the axle. The rods 10 are hinged at their upper ends to the forked extension of a central adjustable screwed leg 16 and at their lower ends are connected by a cross-bar which engages the hooked end of the base-plate 13. The screwed leg bears against the opposite end of the baseplate and may be unseated to collapse the frame quickly by pressing on the lever 18. By operating the screw to lengthen the screwed leg the axle is moved rearwards and raised at the same time. When not in use, the base-plate is removed and the legs are folded round the frame member 31, as shown in dotted lines. For raising the rear axle of the vehicle simultaneously with the front axle, a pair of rods similar to the rods 10 and provided with cam-shaped feet are released from a supporting-hook and lowered into contact with the ground so that the rearward movement of the front axle causes the cams to roll on the ground. Loose wedges may be placed under the rear end of the feet to prevent slipping. In a modified construction, the legs 10 are of fixed length and are provided with a rule-joint at the centre. Fig. 9 shows the axle-raising appliances mounted on dropped castor frames 40 connected by a chain 30. Each frame is X-shaped in plan with unequal arms and runs on four castors at the extremities of the arms.

Granted: 1914-11-11
Abstract: 25,780. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., and Sperry, A. B. Nov. 11. Semi-automatic exchange systems. - In sys'ems in which a connexion is completed through a jack to a numerical selector, the jack springs J'are connected through to the selector trunk 111, 112 by means of a relay 101, which is only energized when the plug is completely inserted in the jack. False operation of the selector due to the accidental engagement of the plug terminals with the jack springs is thus prevented. In one arrangement, the relay 101 is short-circuited over the armature of a relay 102, which is energized when the tip of the plug engages its corresponding spring. Other arrangements of the relays 101, 102 are described. In response to a call, the operator insert plug P, energizing a sleeve relay 88, which supplies current to the calling-line over a feeding-coil 90 and relay 86. The insertion of the cutting-plug energizes the relay 102 over contact 109 and relay 87. The relay 102 removes the short circuit over contacts 107, 108 around the relay 101, which energizes in series with the sleeve relay 89, and connects the jack springs through to the selector trunk 111, 112. The selector line relay energizes at first over the coil 91 and the ring side of the trunk, the relay 87 remaining de-energized. The depression of the key K<2> cuts in the operator's impulse sender, the selector line relay being then energized over both sides of the trunk. The selector operates in known manner to seize, test, and ring up the wanted line. When the called subscriber replies, the connector back-bridge relay reverses the battery connexions to the trunk 111, 112, so that the relay 87 is energized and cuts off the clearing-lamp 85. Lamps 106, controlled by the relay 101, are connected in series at the different operator s positions to indicate when the selector trunk is in use.
